A Little Bit of Deja Vu (Return to Redemption, Book 1)

Winner of the Romance Writers of America® Golden Heart® Award
and the Pacific Northwest Writers Association® Zola Award

Sometimes destiny has the last word (and laugh) 

Fate thrust them together
Blackmail and deception tore them apart
Nineteen years later, their children’s love reunites them
Now, only truth and forgiveness can make them a family
            
Margie Bradford is picking up the pieces of her shattered life following her husband’s death. When her cousin encourages her to make a fresh start with her teenage daughter, unsuspecting Margie takes a reading specialist job in the small town of Redemption, PA. The last person she expects to encounter is Rocket Manion, the ex-NFL quarterback and Dr. Phil wannabe who broke her heart nineteen years ago. Strangling her meddling cousin is now at the top of Margie’s to-do list.
 
Divorced teacher and head football coach Jake Manion experiences an eerie sense of déjà vu when his son announces he’s gotten his girlfriend pregnant. The feeling simply grows stronger when Jake learns the girl’s mother is Maggie, the same woman on whom he’s wasted nearly two decades of bitterness.
 
While planning their kids’ wedding and helping them grow up too soon, Margie struggles with her renewed attraction to Jake. But no matter how irresistible his kisses are, she isn’t stupid enough to let him hurt her again. Or is she?
